218 COLEOPHORIDE. 
Not commonly met with in the perfect state, appearing in June 
and July amongst Zupatorium cannabinum and Inula dysenterica, 
on the leaves of which plants the larva feeds in May, in a long, 
nearly straight, cylindrical case of a uniform dirty-ochreous colour, 
except a brown patch on the basal half of the back. The speci- 
mens Mr. Douglas bred from the Jnu/a have narrower anterior 
wings than the typical insect, which I have bred both from Inula 
and Lupatorium, and the cases, though similar in form and colour, 
were much smaller; it is possible it may yet prove a distinct 
species.

Head, face, and palpi pale ochreous. Antenne white, unannulated 
or annulated with pale fuscous, the basal joint slightly thickened, not 
tufted. Anterior wings rather broad, white, with the veins pale ochre- 
ous, posteriorly confluent; the costa is broadly white nearly to the 
middle ; cilia greyish-ochreous. Posterior wings grey, with ochrcous- 
grey cilia. 
Common in June and July among Stachys sylvatica and Bal- 
lota nigra, on which plants the larva may be found from March 
to May. It feeds on the leaves; the places mined by it are of a 
pale brown colour; the case is rather flat, angulated at each side, 
and is extremely hairy.
